Abstract/Summary:

---

We present a tailored bichromatic LED array setup for in-depth analysis of tandem solar cells. Two spectrally independent LED arrays are used to selectively bias the two subcells of monolithic perovskite/silicon tandem devices, which facilitates intensity calibration and improves stability of the light source. The developed bichromatic LED setup (BCLED) offers a reliable and spectrally controlled several 1000-hours long maximum power point stability test of tandem solar cells. Additionally, selective biasing of subcells enables investigation of individual subcell performance. We showcase this by successfully disentangling the tandem J-V curve into subcell J-V curves. A detailed procedure how to use BCLED to obtain parameters for one diode-model of each subell is described, with the parameters later used to reconstruct tandem and both subcell J-V curves using simulations. The procedure is validated by simulations and then employed on a high-efficiency perovskite/silicon tandem device, showing great matching with the measured J-V curve. Therefore, the BCLED setup can be used for quick subcell quality control and performance analysis as well as for long-term stability testing in maximum-power-point tracking mode with periodic I-V scans.
